Buhari: I never promised to pay unemployed Nigerians
5k each month. .
People be like: No mind those Jonathanians. With their
fake news. Show us links where he promised that. We
are solidly behind you. Nothing for yam eaters .

Buhari : We have started collection of data to enable us
pay the unemployed graduates 5k. .
People be like : Where are those TANoids that said
Baba is not a promise keeper...shame on all PDP.
Baba till 2023 ! .

Buhari: I wont pay 5k to unemployed youths. Its not a
priority ! .
People be like: Baba is right! Whats the use of 5k?
What can 5k do to anyone. Mr president we love u.
Best president ever! .


I wont be surprised if I wake up tomorrow and hear : .

Buhari: Unemployed Nigerians should pay 5k every
month to the government: .

And still people be like: Think of what u can do for your
country and not what your country can do for you.

I wish PMB was younger, sophisticated and liberal. Things could not have deterolated to this level.

We got it all wrong the moment a single criteria( ability to fight against corruption) was used to select him.

Embezzlement of public fund is on the decline and the economy is on the decline more than proportionate. It does make sense.

GEJ had better economic team but he compromised the standard due to his second term ambition.

Is Nigeria not an error?
What do you know about economy, better economy team by Jonathan?.

How can a reasonable government be importing petroleum products an essential commodities to run our economy. Don't you know those better economic team failed the nation, they waste all our income on importation and subsidies payment instead of building a refinery to refine petroleum locally.

Ask yourself this simple question, what will have happened to our economy if we have stop importing petroleum in the last 5 years out of PDP 16 year's.
Imagine we save all the dollars on importation and trillion naira subsidies payment every year into our economy. We don't build industry we don't save during the raining days of Oil boom, see a survival resources from a Germany Bank.

our leaders are very dumb and selfish, so economy is down but a cbn director still earns over N3.5m a month, over N150m as gratuity and about N1.5m as monthly pension till death. and there are over 70 agencies earning these unwarranted salaries but yet nobody says anything

Am not surprised at ur comment because the CBN governor is not an APC member or a northerner KO?
It's usual to see the Federal government blaming all their flaws on someone else......2019 is on the way and I pray God Almighty sustains Nigerians till then. The hardship brought by this Administration is so obvious and I don't see any positive move to end it soon. Instead na travel travel.......

Diversification would do no poo. Are there markets for the products?? We need FDIs. Only a president that understand economics would agree, unfortunately, our president is only a fighter- That's what he was trained for anyways, "he has chosen to fight corruption" other than chase investments.
We don't really need FDIs; what we need is self sustainability. With that there will not be much importation which is the major issue we are having. We are importing everything including petroleum products.

FDI will not even come where there is nothing to reap. They came earlier because we were making money from oil which they could easily exploit and go as far as laundering some cash in connivance with Government officials. Right now we have nothing to offer.

The solution to our present crisis is diversification which cannot happen overnight. We should have moved towards that over the years but free oil money made us think less about future without oil. That is one advantage of the present pipeline destruction going on in Niger Delta as it will force FG and States to look beyond oil for survival.

Politics of bitterness is one of the major reasons for this quagmire. Our oil production has been cut by half with oil prices equally down meaning we are losing more than 55% of our projected income. You cannot blame Buhari for that. If he wants a quick solution he'd declare war on some sections of the country in order to control oil production. I am sure you will kick against that.

She is speaking queen's English wit so much flavor so she cnt be sacked easily cheesy
aaronson:
Me I already knew Nigeria already slipped into recession since the close of the first quarter. But my question is

What's the minister of finance doing?

Part of her job is fore seeing this recession , I remember back then when Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala usually warn the nation about what's bound to happen if measures aren't taken or adhered to. This current one is just so nonchallant leaving the job only to the CBN Governor.

When CBN reversed the policy of Dollar, I knew something was wrong somewhere and they were just trying to apply a shock therapy. Now, Its glaring that the naira has be devaluated and further inflation might make the country slip into total recession. Then we would start to dance to the tune of the IMF as they patiently waiting for us to approach them.

I guess the best thing to do is to cut down on salaries and other public expenditure for the now as the CBN governor said and ban some irrelevant importation to force product and and patronage of our local made Products before we start thinking of diversification.

Lastly, The current finance minister should be SACKED.

Finance minister is not our problem, we have failed failed failed.
The only solution to our problems is to stop importing petroleum products and by refining petroleum locally.
Until we stop wasting the little dollar from crude on importing petroleum products an essential commodities.

The generator you put on now is using Imported fuel, check all your street how many light is from generator, every car and generator is burning our Dollar away. The petroleum that we can produce locally if our leader are the serious type.

For 16 years PDP legalised importation of petroleum products wasting our forex forgetting that this free dollar from crude will one day stop coming.

We are paying for the negligence of our leaders from OBJ till date. If PDP has succeed in building a refinery under OBJ and all the subsidies payment in trillion under Jonathan invested into our economy and dollar for importation saved. Believe me Nigeria will not be suffering up to this level even the dollar will not turn to gold now.

Diversificationhuh Are you talking farming because when Nigerians talk diversification, all I hear them say is farming. The best diversification we can have now is FDI. Sadly, that may not happen until power is fixed. You are wrong, FDI's is not just a person or a thing. They are investors that feel an environment is good for them to do business. It takes good government policies and forward thinking people to attract FDIS. I ll give you an example - the tobacco business got defunct, OBJ came in was able to sign a deal with BAT. We saw how that created jobs and revenue. It is not a coincidence that likes of MTN, DSTV came in strong. Even the banking sector felt something different. There are still many other defunct institutions that good policies can make functional. Hence, my reason for advocating FDI. Whatever diversification still needs investment but we should stop all these farming noise. Yes, those that have no business in the cities should go farming but it shouldn't be the talk of the government as it concerns generating revenue.

What is wrong with Emefiele?
Why is he talking to the Senate?
Is it because our president has ear problem?
Does he not know that our senators are busy calling each other dog and thug to invite retaliation of impregnating a menopause woman?
Emefiele should address his concerns to our nation's first employee in Aso Rock.

First I must make it clear that i was part of those who voted Buhari. ..part of why I described Buhari as vision less was the ease with which he allowed the fragile peace in the Niger delta at a time when our economy needed to maximise ever petrol dollars we could lay our hands on ..A leader with vision wouldn't have stirred the hornets nest at a time like that . ..now due to his vision less fiat methods we are loosing production in millions of barrels daily at a time when oil price are even low. I warned against any drastic move against corrupt ex militants till at least the economy had been buffered and other sources of income created but Buhari was urged on by blind hawks

Without the militants, we are still in problem, global oil prices is down, from Russian to Saudi, Venezuela and all the Gulf are feeling the effects.

I bid for forex at CBN, importing petroleum killed our economy something we can produce locally if our leaders are sincere all this year's instead of legalizing corruption they called importation of petroleum.
